We had a great time exploring the Animas River with Dillon. Super fun guide, liked to joke around with us but also very focused on safety. Would love to come back and do the train up to Silverton and raft down.

We are proud that the Durango & Silverton Train has chosen us to be their official raft and rail package provider. Thank you for taking time to write us a review, it means a lot to the crew and of course Di-Lon!

Best.Guide.EVER Dillon was really cool and he was very funny. He showed us how to paddle and we were like professionals by the end of the trip. He knows what he was doing when it comes to rafting. He made sure that we got in and out of the raft safely which does not sound like a lot but it really is important. He was very helpful and very kind. He really loves his job and he is a very positive person. - Miriam, 14 Dillon was great! The trip was so much fun. Thank you!!
